Goblins are one of the most common, low-levelmonsters found around Gielinor. They are a very popular monster killed by low-level players training their combatskills.

Though lacking intelligence and strength, goblins make up for this with their overwhelming numbers. Goblins are followers of the god Bandos, who they refer to as the "Big High War God". Goblins are frequently at war with the other races of Gielinor, in particular dwarves and gnomes.

Goblins are often one of the first monsters a player will encounter in RuneScape, as they inhabit much of the area around Lumbridge.

It is important to note that the goblins residing in the Stronghold of Security do not drop chef's hats.

↑Only dropped by those located in the Wilderness God Wars Dungeon. Drop rate decreases to 1/70 if one key is owned, and 1/80 if two are owned. If the medium or hard Wilderness Diary is completed the drop rate of 1/60 still applies until a player owns two or three keys, respectively.
